I changed the color a bit on the Ruby logo, and I think it

looks better

(and if I may say so, fits with Why’s (Poignant) Guide to

Ruby better as

well).

that’s not red
btw, if you only color the jewel and the ruby font, it is much better
and the whole logo would stand out. i would prefer that the font be
changed too. Currently, the font looks as if it’s an ad from a cosmetic
or perfume… (no offense intended)

From Wikipedia: “The finest ruby is best described as being a vivid
medium-dark toned red. Secondary hues add an additional complication.
Pink, orange, and purple are the normal secondary hues in ruby. Of the
three, purple is preferred because, firstly, the purple reinforces the
red making it appear richer[3]. Secondly, purple occupies a position on
the color wheel halfway between red and blue.”

The color of the ruby in the logo doesn’t look very “vivid”.
attractive_version.png was just a mockup. But I still think it could use
an edge. So I think some purple/pink to spice it up would look very good
if not overused (like it was in attractive_version.png, I just changed
the hue of the whole image). Would be interesting to see some attempts
at this.
